2026年全國住宅樓市展望:審慎復甦與持續分化

香港 – Media OutReach Newswire – 2026年3月12日 – 近日,戴德梁行發佈《2025年全國住宅市場研究》報告,分析顯示:

  • 國內生產總值新突破,經濟增長對傳統投資依賴度降低
  • 保交樓任務全面完成,新開工及竣工面積降幅有所收窄
  • 房價整體呈下行趨勢,局部高端改善專案熱銷
  • 二手住宅市場分流買樓需求,重點城市二手住宅銷售面積佔比逐年提升
  • 樓市偏弱預期仍待修復,高層發聲定調有望加碼政策刺激

國內生產總值新突破,經濟增長對傳統投資依賴度降低

2025年,中國國內生產總值首次突破140萬億元(人民幣,下同),實現了全年5.0%的GDP增速長目標,「十四五」勝利收官。國內經濟「向新而行」,大力發展新質生產力,以科技創新激發更多經濟動能。2025年研發經費投入強度達2.8%,比上年提高0.11個百分點;規模以上數位產品製造業增加值比上年增長9.3%,人工智慧、量子科技、生命科學、清潔能源等前沿領域科研成果不斷湧現。

全國固定資產投資額首現負增長,同比下降3.8%,如扣除房地產投資影響,固定資產投資仍下降0.5%,其中房地產行業的各項關鍵指標降幅更為明顯,繼續拖累整體投資增長,經濟增長對傳統投資依賴度正逐步降低,而對高端製造業及高新科技領域等的研發投入持續增加,投資結構進一步優化。房地產行業則在新舊動能轉換的背景下順勢發展,著力控增量、去庫存的同時推進「好房子」建設,在產品設計及建造中融入新的理念及技術等,以適應新階段需求的變化。

保交樓任務全面完成,新開工及竣工面積降幅有所收窄

2025年全國房地產開發投資82,788億元,同比下降17.2%,較上年降幅擴大6.6個百分點。住宅開發投資63,514億元,同比下降16.3%,與上年相比降幅擴大5.8個百分點。同比降幅雙雙進一步擴闊,也意味著在行業調整中增量市場規模逐漸收縮的趨勢。

2025年全國住宅新開工面積42,984萬平方米,同比下降19.8%,降幅較上年放緩3.2個百分點;全國住宅竣工面積42,830萬平方米,同比下降20.2%,降幅放緩7.2個百分點,整體降幅呈收窄之勢。”保交樓”的高效推進促使2023及2024年的住宅竣工面積分別反超住宅新開工面積4.0%和0.2%,2025年住宅新開工面積亦與竣工面積基本持平。年末全國住房城鄉建設工作會議明確,”十四五期間,保交樓、保交房任務全面完成”,預計後續將集中更多資金用於高品質新專案建設。

房價整體呈下行趨勢,局部高端改善專案熱銷

2025年,全國新建商品住宅銷售面積延續2022年以來持續減少的趨勢至73,299萬平方米,同比下降9.2%。第四季度,全國新房成交量僅1.82億平方米,不及一、二季度,分別減少1.3%和8.3%,僅較第三季度上漲了9.2%,下半年市場成交遇冷明顯。2025年下半年新房市場再次步入疲弱下行軌道,雖然部分重點城市的稀缺高端住宅熱賣在一定程度上提升市場關注度與熱度,但剛需基本盤的去化表現仍不樂觀。

2025年全國新建商品住宅銷售均價為每平方米10,005元,同比下降4.0%。伴隨”好房子”供應的推進及其相關政策的宣傳,多地新供應項目中高端改善型住宅產品的比例也明顯增加。即便不少項目銷售價格高於市場平均水準,亦取得較好的銷售成績,對當地住宅市場信心帶來正向影響,但仍未扭轉整體價格回調的趨勢。

二手住宅市場分流買樓需求,重點城市二手住宅銷售面積佔比逐年提升

2025年,24個重點城市的新建商品住宅和二手住宅整體銷售面積共計萎縮至30,570萬平方米,較上年同比下降9.3%,其中一手住宅同比下降22.6%,二手住宅同比微跌1.3%。在欠缺強效增量政策刺激的背景下,二手住宅市場表現相對平穩,也反映出重點城市的住房市場依然保有較大的潛在需求。在新房市場供應向著高端化、豪宅化傾斜的背景下,更具性價比優勢的二手房市場,或將承接更多來自供應錯配下被高端新房市場擠出的住房剛需、剛改需求。

伴隨新建商品住宅批准上市面積自2021年開始逐年縮減,2025年24城合計批准上市面積降至9175.4萬平方米,較2020年階段性高峰下降64.7%。新增供應持續萎縮,一定程度限制了新建商品住宅銷售規模的恢復,也促進有效需求向存量市場分流,帶動近年來二手住宅銷售面積佔比的逐年抬升。2025年,24個重點城市二手住宅總銷售面積是新建商品住宅總銷售面積的1.95倍。

樓市偏弱預期仍待修復,高層發聲定調有望加碼政策刺激

從年內的政策走向來看,國家層面的政策基調圍繞推動房地產高品質發展、構建房地產發展新模式、房地產止跌回穩、推動一體化城市更新、建設”好房子”等中長期行業發展目標,市場面則更聚焦於各地優化降低買樓門檻和買樓成本等刺激需求、提振市場的直接舉措,然而年內針對熱點城市的買樓限制性政策的逐層調減並未對市場構成強刺激。直至進入第四季度,10月《”十五五”規劃建議》明確指出”清理汽車、住房等消費不合理限制性措施”,12月中央經濟工作會議再次強調”清理消費領域不合理限制措施”,預計2026年限購城市在放寬買樓限制方面或邁開腳步。結合2026年開年,求是雜誌《改善和穩定房地產市場預期》文章重申房地產業仍是國民經濟的基礎產業和支柱產業,預示後續樓市政策力度或有所調整;同時肯定房地產的金融資產屬性,為核心地段的高端住宅產品未來資產保值增值提供更多想像空間;”政策要一次性給足,不能採取添油戰術”等表述,也預計著2026年或將迎來較強新政。

戴德梁行大中華區副總裁及大中華區策略發展顧問部主管陶汝鴻表示,大灣區住宅市場在2025年是相對淡靜的階段,第一季度的成交量相對活躍,主要是受惠於2024年底政府刺激經濟及樓市的政策所影響,以致成交量有所增加,但當進入第二季度,由於受中美貿易戰升級影響,一手住宅市場成交數字開始下滑,雖然下半年貿易戰情況有所緩和,但普遍買家都仍然維持觀望態度,恐怕談判又有變化,由於受到不穩定因素影響,成交量一直處於低位,以致2025年大灣區一手住宅銷售數字,只有大約255,506宗,相對2024年下調了20%,與疫情前的2020年比較更下調64%。也是首次看到大灣區內九個內地城市2025年全年的一手銷售數字都全面下跌。

展望2026年,隨着各地政府繼續有放寬限制政策出台,更樂見大灣區各大產業發展漸趨成熟,經濟基礎逐漸穩固,同時交通及基礎設施也迅速發展,可以吸引更多人才投入新興產業發展,刺激住宅物業的需求,所以2026年將會進入鞏固期。

VinFast and the Rise of a New Gulf Lifestyle

As Gulf cities hardwire sustainability into daily life, VinFast is shaping an electric lifestyle that feels like a smart, seamless routine, with its climate-ready design, long-term warranty confidence and software-driven convenience woven into everyday driving.

DUBAI, UAE – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 March 2026 – Over the past five years, GCC countries have made EV adoption a clear priority. Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 strategy and Qatar’s National Vision 2030 have moved from policy language to pavement. Master-planned districts in Riyadh are wired for electric charging from day one. Residential towers in Dubai and Abu Dhabi market EV-ready parking as a premium amenity. In Doha and Manama, public chargers now stand in mall basements and along waterfront boulevards, quietly normalizing a different way to refuel.

VF 8

With that, a new lifestyle is taking shape. The clearest sign is how refueling is moving into the home, often happening quietly overnight. In the not-so-distant future, some drivers may struggle to recall the last time they stood beside a pump in the heat, watching the numbers climb under fluorescent lights.

Into this transition steps VinFast, a young global brand intent on making those new habits stick. Its focus is to make the interactions around them feel at least as convenient as traditional ownership, if not more so. In other words, to make EV living workable at scale, for everyone.

The VF 8 sits at the center of that effort. Fine-tuned for Gulf conditions, it pairs vegan leather seating with ventilation and heating functions suited to dramatic seasonal swings. Dual-zone climate control integrates air-quality management and ionization, a practical feature in cities where dust storms are not rare events. The cabin is anchored by a large 15.6-inch infotainment display, sized generously enough that drivers are not left squinting at navigation prompts or climate settings mid-traffic.

More subtly, the VF 8 encourages new expectations around what a car should do. Over-the-air update capability allows the vehicle’s software to improve over time. Driver profiles synchronize settings and climate preferences, useful in households where one vehicle rotates between work commutes, school runs and weekend trips. Smart modes such as pet mode and camp mode extend the car’s role beyond transport, accommodating both urban density and the region’s fondness for desert getaways.

VinFast has also worked to address the psychological side of the green transition. An expectation-surpassing element of the VinFast ownership experience is its warranty package: a 10-year or 200,000-kilometer vehicle warranty, a 10-year unlimited battery warranty and five years of free maintenance up to 100,000 kilometers, all structured to make durability and cost predictability part of the standard equation rather than an added extra. A recently signed Memorandum of Understanding with PlusX Electric in the UAE focuses on portable charging pods, on-demand mobile charging and emergency roadside support.

Taken together, these elements frame sustainability as simply another way of moving through the world, rather than an act of sacrifice, and arguably a more efficient one at that. Fewer service visits. Predictable maintenance costs. Charging woven into the domestic routine.

Across the Gulf, greener living is unfolding in just that manner. The progress can be gradual, almost mundane, yet it is unmistakably forward. VinFast’s role is to ensure that when a driver chooses electric mobility, the surrounding experience feels stable, supported and suited to regional realities.

Following a comprehensive business restructuring in 2025, which included strategic initiatives focusing on overseas production expansion, broadening customer outreach, resource reallocation, and product enhancements, the Group has established a robust foundation for sustainable development. The net proceeds from the placement will accelerate the strategic expansion in Southeast Asia, enhancing offshore manufacturing capabilities and bolstering supply chain resilience. These expansion efforts, targeted for completion by mid-2026, will fortify regional operations and long-term scalability. Concurrently, the Group will continue investing in sales, marketing, and brand visibility, including participation in major trade shows such as High Point Market and the establishment of additional regional showrooms to broaden its global clientele. By increasing production capacity and market presence, Regal Partners aims to enhance competitiveness, attract a diverse customer base, and respond efficiently to global demand.

Mr. Chong Tsz Ngai, Chairman and Executive Director of Regal Partners Holdings Limited, stated, “We sincerely appreciate the support from the capital markets. This placement will significantly strengthen our working capital, enabling us to respond to rapidly changing market demands and advance our next phase of expansion. Following a year of focused restructuring in 2025, we are now accelerating production enhancements while intensifying our business development and marketing efforts. We are also very grateful for the support of our existing and new customers. We anticipate a steady increase in order flow throughout 2026 and onwards, with expansion benefits expected to yield positive results in the near future.

Seoul Restaurant San Named One To Watch By Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2026

The new French-influenced, modern Korean fine-dining spot in Gangnam demonstrates exceptional culinary talent and potential for future glory

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 March 2026 – Restaurant San, Seoul’s most outstanding new fine-dining restaurant, has been named the winner of the One To Watch Award 2026 by Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants, sponsored by S.Pellegrino and Acqua Panna. The award singles out a restaurant which has recently started making a big impact and has the potential to secure a spot in the Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list in the coming years.

San’s nomination comes just over a year since opening in 2024 to widespread admiration in the South Korean capital. Located in the fashionable Gangnam district, San is acclaimed for its refined, French-influenced, modern Korean tasting menu conceived by chef Jo Seung-Hyun.

Chef Jo brings exceptional credentials to the venture, having honed his culinary skills at three distinguished restaurants – starting under the tutelage of Thomas Keller at The French Laundry in Napa Valley and La Maison Troisgros in France, before going on to helm the kitchen at Korean-American celebrity chef Corey Lee’s fine-dining restaurant Benu in San Francisco. After eight years as chef de cuisine at Benu, he finally returned home to Seoul to realise his dream of opening San. The sophisticated tasting menu explores a vibrant range of seasonal dishes presenting his creative interpretation of classical French cuisine with a Korean twist.

A spokesperson for Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants says: “San has quickly become one of the most talked-about fine-dining restaurants in Seoul. With richly deserved recognition as the winner of One To Watch Award, the team is raising the bar for culinary excellence, complexity and respect for national tradition – following an inspiring trend of innovative restaurants to emerge from the capital in recent years.”

On winning the One To Watch Award 2026, Chef Jo says, “I’m incredibly grateful and honoured for San to receive the One To Watch Award. San is still a young restaurant and to be recognised in this way so soon after opening means a great deal to us. Thank you to Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants for this encouragement.”

Showcasing Korean flavours through refined technique, Chef Jo’s cuisine focuses on familiar dishes reimagined with depth and precision. Signature creations include a prawn dish paired with a shrimp-gochujang crafted from a deeply concentrated broth extracted from shrimp heads, delivering intense umami, and a reinterpretation of ojingeo sukhoe, a classic Korean poached squid, using delicately prepared spear squid accompanied by squid-ink chojang. Drawing from his childhood memories growing up in Busan, Chef Jo also presents a refined interpretation of dwaeji-gukbap, traditionally enjoyed with salted shrimp but finished with caviar, offering a sense of familiarity while introducing an unexpected modern expression of Korean cuisine.

Beyond these innovations, signature dishes paying homage to iconic tradition include chamoe dongchimi, a water kimchi twist on Korea’s national dish. The wine pairing, led by Ju Jaemin, meanwhile enhances the dining experience at San. Guests can choose between a five or eight-glass pairing, with each wine meticulously selected to complement the multi-layered dishes.

San is the first restaurant from Seoul to win the award since 2017. Recent winners include Farmlore in Bengaluru (2025), a celebration of hyper‑local Indian ingredients; Lamdre in Beijing (2024), a sustainability focused restaurant inspired by Tibetan philosophy; and August in Jakarta (2023), which reinterprets Indonesian flavours through modern fine‑dining techniques.

The One To Watch Award is the final of three pre-announced awards ahead of the Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2026 awards ceremony, which will announce the region’s premier restaurants. The ceremony is being held for the first time in Hong Kong at the Kerry Hotel on 25 March 2026. The awards ceremony will also be streamed live on the 50 Best YouTube channel via the link here, beginning at 20:00 Hong Kong time.

首爾SAN榮獲2026年度ASIA’S 50 BEST RESTAURANTS「亞洲50最佳餐廳」 ONE TO WATCH AWARD「最值得關注獎」

江南區新晉現代韓國高級食府San融合法式料理風格 展現非凡美食及未來上榜潛力

香港 – Media OutReach Newswire – 2026年3月12日 -首爾新晉高級食府San,榮獲S.Pellegrino & Acqua Panna(聖沛黎洛和巴娜)贊助的Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants「亞洲50最佳餐廳」頒發2026年度One To Watch Award「最值得關注獎」。此獎項旨在表彰近期嶄露頭角,並有潛力於未來幾年躋身Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants「亞洲50最佳餐廳」榜單的餐廳。

San於2024年開業,在首爾廣受讚譽,短短一年多便憑著卓越表現獲提名競逐One To Watch Award「最值得關注獎」。該餐廳坐落於時尚的江南區,以主廚Jo Seung-Hyun精心構思、融入法式料理風格的精緻現代韓國嚐味菜單而聞名。

Jo 的資歷非凡,曾在三間享負盛名的食府磨鍊廚藝──包括最初在名廚Thomas Keller於納帕谷主理的著名餐廳The French Laundry及法國殿堂級餐廳La Maison Troisgros學藝,其後獲韓裔美籍名廚Corey Lee任命要職,為其三藩市高級亞洲料理餐廳Benu執掌廚房。在Benu擔任行政總廚長達八年後,Jo終於回到家鄉首爾,實現開設San的夢想。匠心獨運的嚐味菜單展現出他對經典法式料理注入韓國特色的創意詮釋,呈現精彩紛呈的時令佳餚。

Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants「亞洲50最佳餐廳」發言人表示:「San迅速成為首爾最受矚目的高級食府之一,獲頒One To Watch Award『最值得關注獎』實至名歸。其團隊在烹飪卓越性、複雜度及對國家傳統的尊重方面均樹立了新標竿,延續首爾近年湧現創新餐廳這股鼓舞人心的潮流。」

對於榮獲2026年度One To Watch Award「最值得關注獎」,主廚Jo表示:「能夠獲得One To Watch Award『最值得關注獎』,San深感榮幸,無比感恩。San仍是一間年輕的餐廳,開業不久便得到如此肯定,對我們來說意義重大。感謝Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants『亞洲50最佳餐廳』給予我們這份鼓勵。」

Jo以精湛廚藝展現韓國風味,專注於透過深度與精準度重塑大家耳熟能詳的菜式。其招牌創作包括:以蝦頭熬煮濃縮高湯製成的蝦味韓式辣醬搭配鮮蝦,呈現極致鮮味;重新演繹的經典韓式白灼魷魚,選用精心處理的槍魷魚,佐以墨汁醋辣醬。此外,Jo從自己在釜山成長的童年回憶中汲取靈感,炮製出豬肉湯飯的精緻版本。這道菜傳統上會配鹹蝦醬享用,如今則改以魚子醬作點綴,在保留熟悉感的同時,為韓式菜餚帶來耳目一新的現代詮釋。

除上述創新美饌外,向經典傳統致敬的招牌菜還包括香瓜水泡菜,為韓國國民美食蘿蔔水泡菜的變奏版。與此同時,由侍酒師Ju Jaemin主理的餐酒搭配進一步昇華San的餐饗體驗。賓客可選擇五杯或八杯配酒,每款葡萄酒皆經過精心挑選,與層次豐富的佳餚相得益彰。

San是自2017年以來首間獲此殊榮的首爾餐廳。最近幾屆得獎餐廳包括:班加羅爾 Farmlore(2025年)──主打極具地方特色的印度食材;北京Lamdre蘭齋(2024年)──以藏傳哲學為靈感,著重可持續發展;以及雅加達August(2023年)──透過現代精緻料理技巧演繹印尼風味。

Jo以精湛厨艺展现韩国风味,专注于通过深度与精准度重塑经典菜式。其招牌创作包括:以虾头熬制浓缩高汤制成的虾味韩式辣酱搭配鲜虾,呈现极致鲜味;重新演绎的经典韩式白灼鱿鱼,选用精心处理的枪鱿鱼,佐以墨汁醋辣酱。此外,Jo从自己在釜山成长的童年回忆中汲取灵感,打造出猪肉汤饭的精致版本。这道菜传统上会配咸虾酱享用,如今则改以鱼子酱作点缀,在保留熟悉感的同时,为韩式菜肴带来令人耳目一新的现代诠释。

除上述创新美馔外,向经典传统致敬的招牌菜还包括香瓜水泡菜,为韩国国民美食萝卜水泡菜的变奏版。与此同时,由侍酒师Ju Jaemin主理的餐酒搭配进一步升华San的餐饮体验。宾客可选择五杯或八杯配酒,每款葡萄酒皆经过精心挑选,与层次丰富的佳肴相得益彰。

SC and SSM to enhance data-sharing for MSME growth and market integrity

The Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) and the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) has signed an MoU to facilitate greater access to shared data resources in support of capital market funding initiatives for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and mid-tier companies (MTCs) as well as enhanced supervisory functions.

The collaboration is a key initiative under the Capital Market Masterplan 2026-2030 (CMP) which also aligns with the SC’s Catalysing MSME and MTC Access to the Capital Market: 5-Year Roadmap (2024-2028) while complementing SSM’s role in strengthening the corporate ecosystem through the provision of comprehensive corporate data and enhanced regulatory oversight.

It supports greater inclusivity and the growth of MSMEs and MTCs by strengthening data analytics on funding needs through the use of a reliable database.

This initiative aims to enhance the identification of MSMEs with strong growth potential and financing needs, enabling more targeted capital market solutions to support their expansion and long-term sustainability.

By integrating SSM’s comprehensive corporate data, the SC will identify high-potential unlisted companies, their funding needs and subsequently transition them into the capital market via Bursa Malaysia’s Main, ACE or LEAP Markets, as well as ECF and P2P financing.

The MoU also focuses on the following:

  1. Joint monitoring of entities to prevent financial scams and improve enforcement
    outcomes;
  2. Leverage financial data to monitor the progress of companies in adopting
    sustainability disclosures; and
  3. Joint knowledge sharing and training programmes in areas such as data analytics,
    sustainability reporting, market insight generation, and strategic communication.

Dato’ Mohammad Faiz stressed the importance of data as a catalyst for inclusion. “This collaboration reflects the SC’s continued efforts to deepen market intelligence and strengthen the pipeline of MSMEs accessing the capital market. By leveraging granular MSME data, the initiative will help identify companies with viable growth and financing needs and connect them with appropriate capital market funding avenues.”

“Greater data visibility will also strengthen our enforcement capabilities, enabling earlier detection of scams and reinforcing investor protection,” he added.

Datuk Nor Azimah said the MoU marks a significant step in strengthening cooperation between SSM and the SC through the strategic use of corporate data.

“By leveraging SSM’s comprehensive corporate information, this initiative will enhance the identification of high-potential MSMEs and mid-tier companies and support their access to appropriate capital market financing to facilitate business growth and long-term sustainability.

At the same time, closer collaboration between SSM and the SC will strengthen regulatory oversight and market intelligence while supporting broader efforts to enhance corporate governance and sustainability practices among Malaysian companies,” she said.

Both sides will also set up a reciprocal data-sharing mechanism to enhance surveillance capabilities. It will also be in support of the National Sustainability Reporting Framework (NSRF) in tracking the financial disclosure levels of non-listed entities.

The collaboration also underscores the shared commitment of the SC and SSM to support the continued growth and integrity of Malaysia’s capital market and corporate ecosystem.

Kenanga Group launches Malaysia’s first tokenised money market funds

Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad (Kenanga Group), Malaysia’s leading independent investment bank and the Stellar Development Foundation (Stellar), a US-based non-profit organisation that supports the Stellar network, introduces Myrra, a dedicated token platform that leverages the Stellar blockchain to enable the tokenisation of real world-assets.

The inaugural deployment on the Myrra platform is the tokenisation of the Kenanga Money Market Fund (KMMF) and the Kenanga Islamic Money Market Fund (KIMMF) managed by Kenanga Investors Berhad (Kenanga Investors). The Funds represent the first tokenised unit trust funds to go live within the Malaysian market.

Through this initiative, investors can now transact blockchain-based digital representations of the Funds’ units through Myrra. Tokens are issued on a 1:1 basis, with each token representing a unit of either fund. This ensures the digital tokens function exactly like traditional fund units, while prioritising regulatory compliance, legal parity with existing unit holders, and operational integrity.

By tokenising its Malaysian Ringgit money market funds using trusted Stellar blockchain infrastructure, Kenanga Group is bringing its money market products directly to a broader segment of Malaysian investors, enabling the purchase or selling of tokens directly on Myrra’s web portal.

Operating for more than a decade, Stellar is one of the earliest blockchains designed specifically to support payments, asset issuance, and financial products in a compliance-forward and transparent manner. It hosts Franklin Templeton’s Benji token, a tokenised U.S. Treasury money market fund primarily used by institutional users for on-chain settlement and peer-to-peer transfers. Stellar also powers MoneyGram’s large-scale cash-to-crypto on/off-ramp across 170 countries using USDC and supports the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (“UNHCR”) in distributing USDC-based aid that refugees can redeem even without bank accounts.

Myrra represents a milestone in addressing a tokenised asset opportunity in Malaysia, estimated at US$43 billion by 2030. It builds upon recent efforts by the Securities Commission Malaysia to advance tokenised capital market products within a framework that balances innovation with investor protection. By applying blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technology to familiar financial products, Kenanga Group is taking a pragmatic approach to financial innovation and inclusion while positioning Malaysian investors for a global transition toward faster settlement and enhanced transparency.

The KMMF aims to provide investors with a regular income stream while maintaining capital stability by investing entirely in money market instruments, debentures, and deposits. Meanwhile, the KIMMF offers similar benefits aligned with Shariah principle. Both Funds cater to investors who want stable, short-term returns with minimal volatility.
